Smooth and cool

AMD Athlon II X2 250 - Athlon II X2 Regor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 65W Processor - ADX250OCGQBOX
AMD Athlon II X2 250 - Athlon II X2 Regor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 65W Processor - ADX250OCGQBOX

Pros: Very stable AM3 processor. Good price for output. Runs nice and cool with stock cooling solution.

Cons: No L3 cache.

Overall Review: Great for a buget build. Overclocks well, even for amitures. Other processors like the AMD Athlon II 550 is a better pick, but even a $15 price difference can change what your options are.

APEVIA X-DREAMER3-PK Pink Metal ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
APEVIA X-DREAMER3-PK Pink Metal ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: First off: great shipping! Got it a day early, thanks Newegg! Seconds... -Overall really satisfied with the case. Everything is well built and in its place. The 5.25 drive bays are just a bit tight but who cares. -Buttons and readout look good and function well. -I like the free placement read wire for the thermostat. It's a good quality and coted well. -Removable alternate side panel for wire running. Makes it easier to hide those darn cables. -As long as everything holds up seems to be a nice case. That and my girlfriend will love the pink!

Cons: Well with any case airflow is always an issue. I like the fans and there placement, but in order to get the front panel indicators where they are they had to add an air duct that pulls from the floor. Make sure to put this on a smooth solid surface, or just put a board under the front, to make sure you don't obstruct the airflow.

Overall Review: As long as the airflow is good, this is a nice case. Also, because the thermostat wire is free, make sure to check it for kinks and hard bends. If the wire gets pinched or bent at a hard angle it'll mess up the electrical resistance causing the wire to read the wrong temp. If that happens you'll have to replace the wire.

Proper product

ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3 DDR3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3 DDR3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Good features, support for AM3/DDR3, stable...

Cons: Only 5 SATA ports, RAM slots are close togeather and close to the processor, PCIx16 2.0 slots will cover other PCI slots and connectors with large cards.

Overall Review: This is a great board and works well. You may have to flash the bios for RAM/processor support so make sure you have a lower class AM3 available. Great for overclocking and the AMD chips rule.

Wonderful Product

XFX Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-577A-ZNFC
XFX Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-577A-ZNFC

Pros: Great card, works well, supports cutting edge at a good price.

Cons: Not the 58xx

Overall Review: This is a great card for the price. I hate to buy GFX cards over $200, so this is a great buy. Some people say to buy the 4xxx top of the line, but this card preforms just as well in most game tests and supports the new tech. Plus it is the same cost or just under.

Good RAM
